Hello: 37 inchs have a television of the problem is that it works
like 10 minutes and turns off the image, has sound but no image, turn
off and on again returns to normal work and 5 minutes the picture goes
but still sound, can you help?

Yes it could and most likely is the power supply board. If you look at the capacitors on the board you may see some that appear swelled or puffed up at the top. If you see any that are puffed up they are leaky and replacing them may fix the problem. Some times if the Inverter board is bad it will not let the TV come on. a LED will be blinking. If you have no power at all it is most likely the power supply.

There is not a good solution. If you read about the Polaroid 37" LCD HDTV, you have a problem and it's the same one that many of us have. According to Polaroid's service center, the control box needs to be replaced. Polaroid does not stand by this product. The company gives you a lot of lip service about how many they sell and how few problems they have - they're lying. The TV's should be recalled and I'd suggest you join many of us to demand it. Write BBB, write the company where you bought the TV, write any consumer group you can think of - Polaroid TV's are junk. Sorry you've got one. Sounded like a good deal and Polaroid used to manufacture quality - no more.
